Fantasy Tip: It appears as though Dickerson's injury is a day-to-day situation. The Rockies are facing a left-handed pitcher today, so perhaps the Rockies use Parker at first base against southpaws to give Justin Morneau a break.

Fantasy Tip: This is a surprising move given the logjam in the outfield, and Justin Morneau entrenched at first base. Parker didn't get the at-bats to have fantasy relevancy during his last recall, and little has changed. Until he sticks, a roster spot is tough to justify.

Fantasy Tip: It remains to be seen how much Parker will play in the Carlos Gonzalez-less outfield in Colorado, but he should at least see semi-regular playing time while he's up. Parker has 20-plus home run power thanks to a quick and powerful stroke. Look to acquire him in NL-only leagues, for now.

The Colorado Rockies signed first-round pick OF Kyle Parker to a deal with a $1.4 million signing bonus, The Denver Post's Jim Armstrong reports. Parker was seeking more than $2 million to give up his football career at Clemson, where he is the starting quarterback. He will be allowed to continue playing football. The Rockies, meanwhile, saved a chunk of money and, according to a source, will be able to recoup a portion of the signing bonus if Parker gets hurt on the football field.
